AI/ML Engineer

About the job

We're looking for an AI/ML Engineer to join a forward-thinking Software Engineering organisation within a major global automotive OEM.

The role is engineering-first — designing, building, and delivering end-to-end AI/ML solutions that solve real engineering and product problems. Engineers in this role contribute across the full lifecycle, from design and development through validation and production handoff, working closely with product teams and the MLOps function.
